A study by researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health found that avoidable mortality rose across all U.S. states from 2009 to 2021, while it declined in most other high-income countries.
United states is ranked 48. And they claim to have th best healthcare in the world.
Obviously that’s not true, they may have one of the best for the very rich. But on average it’s VERY bad.
Food standards are also bad, so again it’s only if you are doing well that you can afford healthy food.
The countries surrounding USA on this list have about a third the wealth per capita!!!
Yes I didn’t even notice the South Africa thing. I would have thought they did better?
Way above them are Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia, all countries that has had very serious problems and I though were way poorer?
The average person in SA lives in a metal hut, is probably an alcoholic, might have HIV, could work in an illegal mine, etc. it makes great sense to me
Ben Shapiro said years ago that the US Healthcare system is the best… but it’s only flaws were regulation. I think Ben Shapiro needs to have his ass examined and then given a diagnosis of colon cancer and told to fuck off.
We can add time to your life by charging so much money and limiting access via networks that you avoid care until it’s too late. Or you just choose the cheapest insurance that’s actually useless if you need it. Now that you’ve collapsed from a heart attack and taken a $5k ride in a fancy ambulance to the out-of-network ER that has reduced coverage for non-preapproved procedures we can extend your life via stents and bypasses or other serious measures. You have severely reduced life expectancy, maybe lost your job if the attack disabled you, maybe lose your home, but look how great our medical care was in making sure you didn’t use it until you desperately needed it!

Man, that table is wild. South Africa has a lower life expectancy than Afghanistan and in Russia women live 12 years longer than men? Bonkers.

It’s probably due to HIV rates.
Yes, that’s stated as reason #1:

I’m guessing women don’t get drafted for special operations in Ukraine

Imagine being that dimwitted! But maybe he is just a troll?
No he is a legit vile dipshit who wants police convicted of murder pardoned and probably reinstated as police. He WANTS the riots to ensue.
May he be the first victim.
Best health care = most profitable health care.

huh. wonder how that happens. guess we’ll never know. oh well.
If only that were how it actually got distributed
Well that’s kind of decided by the voters and population, and Americans voting Republican abs0olutely makes it worse.
